Pros

Pay is good for a select number of individuals

Cons

Company with poor values (despite those communicated in internal memos which read well). Focus is quarterly to yearly at most. There is little sense of mission beyond that. The European business was built through a collective of city professionals wanting one last role. No common goal. No ambition to build something meaningful. Most want out but are locked in.

Pros

Supportive firm-wide culture; competitive pay; surrounded by some of the smartest people you'll ever meet.

Cons

Like most banking jobs, incredibly long hours. Group specific: culture can be poor / not well supported, poor organization / staffing at group level.
